The church family and Inman Park neighborhood came through in a big way to help our young people collect all of the needed supplies to help a family from Bhutan escape an unsafe homeland to come to a safe place here in the United States.

We will work all weekend setting up the apartment for the family's arrival on Tuesday, Jan. 17.
